Description: Writing For Immortality : Women and the Emergence of High Literary Culture in America, Hardcover by Boyd, Anne E., ISBN 0801878756, ISBN-13 9780801878756, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Boyd (English, U. of New Orleans) argues that applying the romanticism-realism-naturalism model serves nineteenth-century women's writing less well than it does that of men. She believes that too many writers cannot fit into this lockstep approach, and as a result the few are canonized and the many become disconnected, isolated, or anomalies. She finds women writers in the nineteenth century to be "truth-tellers," deeply involved in high culture and also eagerly seeking recognition as artists. Even while battling against lack of recognition and finding themselves confined to "women's issues," these writers were able to construct literature that moved beyond that set in the perpetual-present or held in the unyielding clasp of the mundane.
